Today morning, went to labour ward. Clerked a new admission of IUD (intra-uterine death).
The mother is a 37 year-old Chinese with G5P3+1.
I'm the translator between Dr. SiLay and the mother.
T/A USG showed there was no fetal heart beat and the uterine was smaller than date.
The mother looked so sad after knowing the bad news. She was so teary.
She kept on asking me to save her baby but i have to assure her in such case.
We cant find the cause of IUD unless post mortem biopsy was done.
Congenital abnormalities is the most likely Dx that we can make so far. T.T Feeling sad telling the mother abt the fact.
This is our responsibility as a Dr to tell the exact truth to the patient. And i need to learn the proper and comfort way to break a bad news. This is wat i shud learn. And being a Dr must have high EQ!! No question for it.
So, Jason must be tougher!!

need to be so cruel to tell d patient d truth. we really nid a higher EQ to control our emotions...
learning how to have a higher EQ is very difficult process because emotion is hard to control sometimes....
Sometimes we need to do wat we don't like or don't want to but tis is life...
